University of Alabama coach Nick Saban can cross one name off his list of potential offensive coordinators: Georgia Southern head coach Chris Hatcher.

Hatcher, thought to be a candidate after Major Applewhite's Wednesday departure, has not been contacted by Saban. Nor, Hatcher said, does he plan to pursue the position if asked.

"No, no, no, I've got a great job here," Hatcher said. "I've been so busy recruiting I didn't even know Alabama had an offensive cooridnator opening. Of course, I'm always flattered when my name comes up in anything like this."

Applewhite left after one year under Saban to take the job as University of Texas running backs coach.

Hatcher has been at Georgia Southern for a season and spent seven years at Valdosta State.
